Description:

This team-taught interdisciplinary course combines literature, film and biology for study by students in all disciplines, and includes a place-as-text trip to the South Carolina Low Country and Savannah, Georgia regions. It focuses on the culture and ecology of the area from Charleston to Hilton Head, South Carolina, by examining the region through selected works and the life of popular author Pat Conroy. It will involve study of the ecology and current environmental concerns of the Low Country and Savannah regions, as well as examinations of its history and architecture. We will also discuss media and film interest in and influence on the area and will examine excerpts from other more academically significant authors whose fiction employs the region as setting. Opportunities for community service on site will be available.
